For my final project I'm thinking playgrounds. Originally I was going to do nursery rhymes, because over the break I told the story of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' using photography. It was a good idea, but the actual photos weren't that great, so I was going to reshoot that. Chan's idea was playgrounds. Well as I heard hers, I fell in love with the idea. During film last term, I shot playgrounds, and they were some of my favorite images. I was so jealous, I wanted to do playgrounds so badly! Then I found out that Chan had fallen in love with my idea, as I had hers. It was perfect!! We switched. Now I'm very excited, she's excited, we're all excited. I'm looking at old antique ones made of wood and iron and trying to avoid the new futuristic plastic ones. Yay! I can't wait.
Okay. I wrote that Friday the 6th, and I shot all weekend. Now it is Monday the 9th, and I like my shots! But I don't like the slides and just swings and climbing sets, I like all of the shots where I got very very close, and focused hard and sharply. Well it just so happens and these shots, my favorites, are all of metal. My close-up bolt and my chain from a swing, these are my favorites! So I've changed my subject to metal. I don't even like my playground shots. But I love the metal ones. I'll go shoot some more this week, and I may even have some shots from past assignments I could use. I have almost two full weeks until this is due, so hopefully it's exceptional. Yay!! I can't wait. I hope it turns out!
